THE TREATMENT OF LATERAL CURVATURE OF THE SPINE; RESULTS

FRANK E. PECKHAM M. D.

The exercises are limited to the symmetrical ones and these must be done with precision and accuracy. It is the elaborating of the fine details of each movement and educating the patient's mind to carry the exercise down to its smallest point and the constant coaching by the supervisor, who must not let a single error go uncorrected, and the frequent attendance (daily if possible) which makes for success in the treatment of lateral curvature of the spine.

Below is submitted some photographs of cases with the results; the results being as you will see some time after beginning treatment, in order to show somewhere near ultimate results.
